Eva Dress 3322 Trousers & Overalls

I started out using an indigo cotton twill as a muslin for the overalls, and ended up finishing them as a wearable pair of trousers (I didn’t have enough fabric to finish them as the overalls) because the fit was perfect and nothing really needed to be changed!

I did end up using my usual curved waistband and changed from a side button closure to a lapped zipper. But that was it!
I want to sew a pair in every color!

The overalls don’t have me quite as over the moon, but I still like them. Just a lot more fussing to get the fit right, and the fact that I lined the top and decided to put in an invisible zipper added a fair amount of hair pulling and teeth gnashing.

Apparently I wasn’t able to solve ALL of the fit issues either – look at all those wrinkles along my back!
All well, luckily I can’t see myself from the back. And maybe the fabulous pockets I added will distract from the wrinkles.

I have some detail photos and a much more involved description of the construction process (as well as a lengthy monologue, and maybe TMI, as to why I don’t love hiking) over on my blog, Moxie Tonic.
